ENL1 – Penrith Result

Shildon Grind Out a Win

In blustery conditions Shildon ground out a 2 – 1 home win against Penrith on Saturday 28th March 2015.

Kicking with the wind behind them a John Brackstone free kick was punched away in the 1st minute.

Shildon could have been three goals down within the first 9 minutes. On the 4th minute Penrith’s Martyn Coleman was pulled back inside the area by Darren Craddock for a clear penalty, but the referee said play on.

Minutes later Sam Bells great left foot shot was punched over by Shildon’s keeper Kyle Hayes.

On 9 minutes a Sam Bell header was goal bound but it hit a Penrith player near the goal line and bounced out.

Against the run of play Shildon took the lead on 14 minutes when Mark Doninger was fouled and Lee Scroggins scored from the free kick.

It was 2 – 0 shortly after when Billy Greulich-Smith fired a right foot shot into the bottom corner.

On 34 minutes Shildon should have also been awarded a penalty when Billy Greulich-Smith was pushed over in the box, but once again the ref. said play on.

Half Time:  Shildon AFC  2  Penrith  0

Before the hour a Billy Greulich-Smith header was dropped by keeper Richardson, but the ball was scrambled away.

Taking advantage of the wind behind them, Penrith looked a far better team and on 66 minutes a great right wing corner was headed home by Will Paul for 2 – 1.

Thereafter Penrith took control of the game with Shildon defending corner after corner.

In time added on a long free kick from Sam Bell assisted by the wind was goal bound but once again Shildon’s class keeper Kyle Hayes punched the ball over the bar.

The Railwaymen were relieved to hear the final whistle.

Shildon Move Up To 3rd

Shildon AFC are now 3rd in the league with games in hand after a 2 – 0 home win against West Allotment Celtic on Wednesday 25th March 2015.

The game was won within the first few minutes with the Railwaymen scoring twice. The first came on 5 minutes when John Brackstone headed in a right wing cross.

Although to was all Shildon, near the break Celtic’s Marc Walton fired wide from the edge of the box.

The 2nd half was a dull affair with very few scoring chances from either side.

On the hour Celtic’s Liam Anderson was through but miss kicked. Then Celtic’s Marc Walton headed over before they were down to 10 men on 78 minutes when Marc Dummett was red carded for a bad tackle on Sam Hodgson.

Near the end Shildon’s Mark Doninger hit the post.
